Pictures from today. When we got there this morning, the temperature was 34 degrees, so until the sun rose over the building next to our parking area, we froze our buns off.






The big buildings and MARTA tracks in view tell you we're not in the 'burbs.



Charlie wanted a picture of a C8 engine bay.

I don't think V8Archie will ever get one of those into a Fiero. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I think Archie did a 7 in something.

There is one with an engine that started life as a 7.4.  Someone bored the engine out, but messed it up, resulting in cylinder damage.  So, the cylinders were bored out, again.  No idea what the displacement is, now.

I'm sure it would fit in Paul Hosler's car, but then, it's only a Fiero skin deep.

Yes, that is a full-out racecar.

Don Kraus put a 427 LSX into a Fiero.  I followed that car for several hours.  I think it got about 9 MPG.  Later, I had to push that car onto the show field.  The computer overheated.  It had to be trailered back, and took 2 years to get back running again.  Now, it is done right, and has even more power.

A guy with a nice bumper pad showed up late and had to park elsewhere.  Former members Paul  Ketterer and Brian Bristow paid a visit and another gentleman who owns an 85GT stopped by.

Even better.  Any interest from any of them?

Sounds like a good time.
I talk with Brian on occasion. Said that he still wants another Fiero.

For some reason, the voting is still open on this.
